Book Week Events
Before I get to Fan Art Friday, there's a bunch of STUFF I should mention.
1) My New York Public Library event for Book Expo America has been moved to a bigger venue. If you tried to book tickets and were denied due to overflow, you can try again. Here are the deets:
NY Book Week Science Fiction/Fantasy Evening
